The Girl’s Guide to Hunting and Digging

Vintage Shopping Online

Sure, vintage shopping is fun.

But, oh, all that dust! The way it gets under your fingernails? During allergy season?

All for the sake of a pretty little Pucci?

You’ve got to mine through a lot of schlock to find the goods: that silky 1920’s flapper dress, that fur-trimmed pair of bell-bottoms (so Charlie’s Angels!), the Dior vinyl raincoat, the antique lace gown (so Winona!). And then they say that you have to haul ass to the East Village to score the really good stuff?

So we were pretty pleased with ourselves when we found fashiondig.com, one of the better solutions to sanitizing and streamlining the process of vintage shopping. Check out vintage Pucci peignoirs, the “Souper Dress” (a paper re-creation of Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans), white vinyl go-go boots, and Karl Lagerfeld sundresses. Other designers include Pierre Cardin, Andres Courreges, and Mary Quant. Accessories range from Italian magazine clutch purses to snakeskin bags to a plastic donut telephone.

Just in case you’re beginning to think that sleek little Motorola phone is just so last week.
